[Graphics ptions for low requirements on further patchs?]

Hi,

 

I'm in a situation like yours, the game runs fine on my static computer, but it runs like crap on my laptop.

The anti aliasing option coming with the update helped a bit to get more FPS, but the main setting availabel at the moment seems to be the resolution.

 

By default, I'm at 1600 x 900 and downgrading it to 1280 x 720 (which is the minimum) gives me FPS but the UI looks very bad.

I think the most cpu/GPU intensive is the quality of effects and models (characters, water movements, lights ...)

 

I used stuff like game booster by Razer and others windows optimizing softwares, the gain isn't big but it still helps.

 

By default :

1600 x 900

Anti aliasing max

FPS (only in the first place of the game) : 10-20

 

Whent putting anti aliasing to mini :

FPS : 15 - 25

 

When putting in 1280 x 720 :

FPS : 20 - 27

 

Some would say that about 30 FPS is okay, but it's the performance when my laptop is "cold", after a few minutes, the FPS drops to 10.

 

I've already been searching for low end PC mods, but there is'nt yet.

 

The most efficient solution I found, still unplayable, is to modify the  compatibility mode of the game and launch it with 640 x 480 resolution, the FPS gain is obvious but the UI doesn't work under the 1280x720 limit.

 

But there's a starting with this tool : http://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/27/?

 

The Idea would be to extract the assets to get a zero compression folder which would take more disk space but need less ressource to be used.

 

You can read the discussion on this mod, there are many troubles using it but maybe, with a new version, it will be possible.

 

Anyway, I hope a new update would come with settings about quality models and shaders.

I know it's a great game, but it's almost impossible to play it for more than 2 hours without over heating the pc.

 

Completely agree with you.

 

Hope obsidian can add some settings to run this game better on laptops with low resources and we can enjoy this awesome game.

Hello everyone, I am writing to ask if you could include graphic options to run pillars of eternity in laptops/PCs with low resources more efficiently in future patches?

 

I'm trying to play on a i3 M 330 2.13GHz 2.13GHz With 2GB RAM and successfully brought on my team lvl 4 ... but my laptop get crash on the 60% - 70% of the loading screen due to the low requirements of my laptop and its result really frustrating to me cause i love this game.

 

The only thing i have done is remove the antialiasing with the command console "msaa 0"

 

If there is any other command console i could use to get a better frame rate on the game I also appreciate

 

Please help me, im sure im not the only one who would love to play this awsome game having a low resources PC/laptop

 

Thks.
